About this book
It’s nap time for an adorable little ginger kitten, but it isn’t as easy as you might think to get them into the cot and off to dreamland.
First, Cat has to have their favourite teddy and blanket, then some milk. They start to feel sleepy, but then feel like playing. No, it’s not play time, Cat! And it’s definitely not time to play superheroes.
Finally, after Cat has tired themself out, it’s time to brush teeth, plump the pillow and turn on the cosy night light. With a kiss and a cuddle, it’s time for sleep – with teddy, of course.
This sweet bedtime book aimed at toddlers has few words, but its short length is a perfect read when getting little ones to bed for a daytime nap or as part of the night-time routine.
Making sure that little ones have progressed through the settling down process and followed the steps to ensure a restful goodnight is the main aim of this book, and toddlers can identify with the cute little kitten with their lovely expressions and cute fur.
